One of the many things you can use a light bulb for. This is a collection of junk I found in my tool box tonight. Kind of a new age Victorian vacuum tube.

A line of lightbulbs hung at St Andrews Quay, Gravesend, by the light-ship LV21...also a popular spot for fishing, and the line caught when casting...
One of those newfangled LED lightbulbs, outside on a fence in Keyport and protected by a glass covering. Nikon F3HP, 105mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor lens, ORWO UN54, Rodinal 1:50.
This took me nearly all day to setup and it was over in about a second. Sure am glad it turned out and I had the correct exposure.
Two shots from another assignment in my lighting class. I had to photograph the same object in two dramatically different lighting situations.

I have all energy saving bulbs in my house and some of them are in standard lamps, which means they are upturned.
I noticed that one I use every evening was starting to flicker, and eventually decided it was on it's last legs.
When I took it out of the fitting it was extremely hot and full of dead insects.
A cautionary tale, to check every so often and avoid a possible fire.
This worked out about like I expected.
Take an old reflector style bulb, break the vacuum (I don't want it exploding as I work on it) and use a Dremel tool to hog out a hole in the base. Put it on a wooden base and put a fire cracker inside.
You can see the light from the firecracker (it's off center towards the right) and it has exposed the breaking glass. A few bitty-seconds later the fragments from the exploding glass set-off my IR sensor and fire the flash(s).
At this point the area in the vicinity of the firecracker is a fast moving spray of powder and fragments. The rest of the glass is starting to fly apart in a lovely pattern of crackle.
It's just how I like things, a balance of chaos and order. Not my best picture ever but a pretty thing non-the-less.
Cheers.
